Due to further expansion, the Charlie Waller Institute (CWI) is seeking to appoint one or more outstanding Teaching-Intensive Lecturers on either a full-time or part-time basis. You will join a vibrant, collegiate, team to deliver high-quality teaching and supervision on our portfolio of highly-regarded Children and Young People's Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CYP CBT) programmes.

The Charlie Waller Institute (CWI) is seeking to appoint driven and inspiring Lecturers to work across our range of training programmes for mental health practitioners and to support our leading work to decolonise and diversify our curricula. We work closely with NHSE colleagues to train staff practising within both adult and children and young people's (CYP) mental health services, in both high-intensity and low-intensity provisions. The successful candidate(s) will provide high-quality teaching, clinical skills training and clinical supervision across the range of our graduate and postgraduate CBT programmes.

We expect to appoint lecturers to start in August 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. Applicants will be clinically trained as a high-intensity CBT practitioner or clinical psychologist with children and young people, have recent experience of clinical practice and some experience of working within or alongside a University. To support with programme delivery, we are particularly interested in applicants with experience relevant to our senior wellbeing practitioner and CYP high intensity programme. We are also very keen to receive applications from those underrepresented in psychological professions including those from Black and Brown communities, men, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and people with disabilities.

You will have:

  • Experience of working clinically with CBT (in CAMHS)
  • Experience of working in or with a Higher Education provider
  • Experience of supervising/mentoring others' clinical work
  • Commitment to embedding considerations regarding equity, diversity and inclusion in all aspects of clinical training programmes
  • Commitment to excellence in teaching and enhancing student experience
  • Commitment to professionalism in interactions with colleagues and students
  • Good organisational and interpersonal skills
  • Understanding of, and perhaps interest in being involved in, research into CBT or pedagogical approaches within clinical training

Please see the job description and personal specification for further details.
